Research on 3 favourite Characters

Research on 3 favourite characters Yamcha Yamcha is from the series Dragonball. I like him because his character is cool and relaxed but also powerful. He is laid back but when trouble hits earth in the series, he is there to help the main character (Goku). His character was created and developed by Akira Toriyama with prototypes made in his series “ Journey to the west” His character is most likely based on a desert bandit from the series called “Sha Seng”. They both had similar personalities as a bad bandit but eventually became heroes. Another likely prototype design of Yamcha is character which was also created by Akira was Pink from One-Shot who was also a desert bandit who had a sidekick animal like how Yamcha has a talking kitten plus they also both had flying vehicles. http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Yamcha Eric Cartman Eric Cartman is a character from South Park who is portrayed as a selfish self-centred 8 year old boy who only cares about himself and uses people. Matt Stone and Trey Parker created the character hoping the audience will find him funny. His creation was based upon trying to make a character like Archie Bunker from “All in family” in the 1970’s. They thought it would be impossible to make a character like in the cartoon but eventually thought of the idea when they decided to make him a child instead. His is one of my favourite characters as he is crude and hilarious. http://southpark.wikia.com/wiki/Eric_Cartman Ricky Spanish Rickey Spanish is a fictional character from American Dad. He is from the character “Roger” who is an alien. Ricky Spanish was portrayed as the most hated man in town as he has ruined people’s lives un provokingly pulling pranks on people and for no reason robbing them and hitting them. In my opinion, I think his character was developed based on an 1980’s gang member with his appearance (like the haircut) and attitude. I like him because I found him funny and rude. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricky_Spanish
